Version 1.12
The package management in TwinCAT HMI version 1.12 is based on the NuGet package management system. This makes it possible to export the following TwinCAT HMI components into a NuGet package:
- Framework controls
- Server Extensions
- Functions (JavaScript/TypeScript)
- Code-behind files (JavaScript/TypeScript)
- Style sheets (CSS)
- Image files
Package management also enables export of several elements into one package, so that a whole control library can be contained in one NuGet package, for example. In addition, dependencies between packages can be defined such that when a package is installed, another package is automatically installed with it. NuGet also offers update management, so that users are automatically informed when a new version of a package is released and can install it directly.
The TwinCAT HMI components such as the TwinCAT HMI framework or a server extension are provided with version 1.12 as a NuGet package. The packages are provided in the public repository at nuget.org under the official Beckhoff account. Updates are also rolled out in this way.
The NuGet packages installed in an HMI project can be found in the project under the References node. A new project contains the TwinCAT HMI Framework, the TwinCAT HMI Controls and the TwinCAT HMI Functions as standard.
